    Yogurt Dipping Sauce for Green Bean Fries Pin

    Baked Green Bean Fries are breaded in Parmesan and cooked until crispy. Dunk them in a Balsamic Yogurt Dip or eat them hot out of the oven. Either way, you'll satisfy your need to crunch with this low-carb, gluten-free recipe.

    Baked Green Bean Fries piled on a plate

    Baked Parmesan Green Bean Fries are the newest rage at our house. They're an alternative to Carrot Fries or Okra Fries only this time a cheese breading is involved!

    While I would be hard-pressed to find anyone at our house happily munching on a cooked green bean as a snack, these "fries" are transformed into finger food. Put them out as an appetizer and you're sure to make low-carb and keto dieters very, very happy.

    Or shake things up at dinner. How about some fries with your turkey? Or your latest chicken dinner?

    Luckily, this recipe is EASY to make and the beans cook very quickly!

    How to Make Baked Green Bean Fries

    Wash and trim the beans. Snap off the ends, nip them with cooking shears or cut them with a knife. It really doesn't matter how you do it. Get rid of the strings and hard ends. Make sure to pat them dry with a paper towel before moving on to the breading step.

    Coat the beans with olive oil and then toss them in a mixture of finely grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and paprika. The "breading" is very similar to the coating used on Broiled Scallops with a Parmesan Crust.

    Keep a bag of the breading mixture in the refrigerator or freezer and these are just minutes to make.

    Bake the fries in a hot oven (425 degrees F) until crispy and starting to brown. Turn the oven to broil for the last few minutes to make them even crispier. That's it!

    Pro Tip: Place a cookie cooling rack on top of the sheet pan so the beans are crisped on all sides!

    Baked Green Bean Fries Variations

    • Make a vegan version by using nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan Cheese.
    • Add a little chili powder or cayenne pepper to make a spicy version
    • Make Crispy Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Fries
    • Add breadcrumbs to the mix for a more heavily coated fry!

    Are Green Bean Fries Keto?

    Green beans are naturally low in carbohydrates and full of nutrients, which make them perfect for a low-carb or keto-friendly diet. The nutritional information below includes the dip. Subtract 2 Carbs and 3 grams of Protein for the dip.

    Keto Ranch Dressing by Low-Carb Yum is low carb and would be perfect for these "fries."

    Italian Green Beans with Tomatoes is another keto-friendly dish to try!

    How to Make Balsamic Yogurt Dip

    A dip really isn't necessary. The beans are so tasty hot from the oven. But, this dip is a cool and tangy contrast to the hot bean fries and dunking always seem to up the fun factor.

    It has just 3 ingredients: Greek yogurt, balsamic vinegar and garlic powder. Make sure to blend the mixture thoroughly so that the balsamic vinegar is fully incorporated into the yogurt. We used an electric mixer for the job.

    Drizzle the dipping sauce over the beans for a fancy, schmancy presentation and pass a big plate of fries to the smiles of your guests.

    Serving idea: Stand baked green bean fries upright in a cup or cylinder, like you would for fries. This presentation is perfect for an informal party.

      Delish! I made these a little differently because I was out of some ingredients: I used onion powder instead of garlic powder, instead of greek yogurt I used regular plain yogurt with a swirl of olive oil added to it, and replaced normal balsamic vinegar (red) with white peach balsamic vinegar. I also added cayenne powder to the breading. Finally, it was too hot in the summer to use the oven so I broiled the beans. My only reservation is that these fries get cold quickly so they need to be plated and served right away. My family enjoyed them.

        Hi! 1 serving 1/4 of a 1 pound bag of green beans...which looks to be about 12-15 green beans per serving...approximately. Enjoy!

        Hi! I've never tried it so I'm not exactly sure what the outcome would be. I'd be more inclined to prepare the breading and dip if you're using it and then cook them closer to serving time. If you do cook them and then freeze them, they would need to be crisped up again in the oven or an air fryer for the best result. I hope you enjoy them!
